Exhibitions in QUAD Gallery and Derby Silk Mill

Known for halting the status quo, arresting the scene and exploding a new perspective on the practices of contemporary photography, this third edition of the biennale Hijacked series explores the world through the eyes and works of 35 international photographers from or within the UK and Australia. From oblique takes on portraiture and collage to snapshots of society at its best and worst, these far reaching photographic practices question what it means to create images in the 21st century. Also featuring a series of specially commissioned films about participating photographers and writers, produced by Troika. Curated by Louise Clements, QUAD and FORMAT International Photography Festival (UK), Mark McPherson, Big City Press (AUS), and Leigh Robb, PICA (AUS).
